Turns out Mexico's President invited BOTH Hillary and Trump

But the media is only reporting the invitation to the latter, as if to create the impression that the Mexican President prefers Trump.

See the translation of paragraph 2 from this news article in the Universal of Mexico:

"In recent days, Pres. @EPN Invited both US presidential candidates to a dialogue on the bilateral relationship between Mexico and the US. Mister @realDonaldTrump has accepted this invitation and will meet tomorrow in private with President @EPN" says the tweet of the Presidency of the Republic.

She's doing ok in the polls, but she could be doing so much better if she was out there with the folks. She needs to get out of her comfort zone because this isn't a traditional campaign. You should always run like you're behind.

Last I checked they don't vote in our elections. Hillary can go see him anytime she wants but why would she. His approval rating btw is less than 30% so who gives a flip.
